[+263, -94] Their last album was a pretty big hit, but that doesn't mean 880,000 copies are anything to scoff at. The title of the article tries to make it sound like they completely failed.

[+176, -51] Are you really trying to compare the sales of a single with two songs to the sales of an album with six songs? Hahahahaha Hive should save the money they spend on this stupid Nugene hate campaign and spend it on lawsuits.

[+155, -35] I remember that Hive's rookies had a showcase on Mnet, but no matter how sensational New Jeans' debut was, they didn't achieve anything at the MAMA or Mnet events. Bullying is very real.

[+95, -34] First week sales for everyone are dropping, New Jeans in particular is suffering due to Hive's anti-comeback campaign, and single album sales are being split with Japan.

[+65, -16] The Habe people in the comments need to realize that they can hate Monger as much as they want. But that doesn't mean we're starting to become fans of Le Seraphim or Illit lol.

[+43, -14] It's funny that album sales are low across all girl groups, but just looking at the title, it seems like it's a problem unique to New Genes.

[+41, -12] It's better to sell less than to scam fans into buying dozens of items per person.

[+35, -12] This is exactly what Hive attacks right before their comeback lol. I wonder if they have lifted the age restriction in the music video?

[+35, -10] But isn’t this just a single?

[+22, -10] The Hive must stop its campaign of hate. It's so obvious. They're actually comparing sales of a full album to a single that includes two songs.

[+22, -4] I wonder if it's because New Jeans didn't participate in the album that the court ruled against Hybe?

[+17, -9] I can't help but laugh at how obvious Hive's media play is. If you have time to publish articles like this, invest that time and money into beating up Min Hee-jin.
